How far will the electric Mustang go on a charge?

Across its lineup, the Mustang Mach-E delivers roughly 230 to 300 miles per charge, depending on the battery size and drivetrain. The longest EPA-estimated ranges come from Extended Range rear-wheel-drive variants, with some California Route 1 configurations pushing beyond 300 miles on a full charge.

EPA range by Mach-E variant

The following figures reflect typical EPA estimates for common Mach-E configurations. Real-world results vary with weather, driving style, and wheel options.

1. Standard Range RWD: about 230 miles (EPA)


2. Extended Range RWD: about 270–300 miles (EPA); certain versions such as the California Route 1 can reach up to around 312 miles in some model years


3. AWD Extended Range: about 270 miles (EPA)


4. AWD Standard Range: about 210 miles (EPA)

These numbers describe the broad spread of the Mach-E lineup. The precise figure for your exact model year, wheel size, and options may vary.

Real-world range and factors that influence it

Beyond the official EPA numbers, several factors consistently affect how far a Mach-E will actually travel on a single charge. Understanding these helps set expectations and plan charging stops.

• Speed and driving style: Higher highway speeds and aggressive acceleration reduce efficiency.


• Weather and climate control: Cold temperatures and heavy use of heat or air conditioning can significantly lower range.


• Terrain and topography: Hills and frequent stops can impact miles per charge.


• Wheel size and aerodynamics: Larger wheels and reduced aero efficiency lower range; more aerodynamic wheels can help.


• Vehicle load and accessories: Passengers, cargo, and accessory loads affect energy use.


• Battery state of health and charging habits: Battery aging and charging speed choices influence available range over time.

In practical terms, most drivers can expect to lose a portion of the EPA estimate under everyday conditions, so planning for a comfortable buffer and convenient charging options is wise.

Tips to maximize range

Several proven practices can help you stretch a Mach-E’s range on a given charge.

• Use regenerative braking effectively and drive with smooth acceleration.


• Keep tires properly inflated and maintain an efficient speed profile, especially on highways.


• Precondition the cabin while plugged in to avoid drawing energy from the battery when you start driving.


• Choose efficient drive modes and consider aero wheels if available to improve efficiency.

Small adjustments can yield meaningful gains, and most owners find a practical margin above the EPA rating is achievable in favorable conditions.

Summary

The Mustang Mach-E’s range per charge spans roughly 230 to 312 miles, depending on battery capacity, drivetrain, wheel choice, and model year. Real-world mileage varies with weather, driving behavior, and terrain. For planning, treat the EPA estimates as a baseline, anticipate conditions that erode range, and leverage charging options along your route to stay on schedule.

What electric car gets 400 miles per charge?

Yes, several electric cars can travel 400 miles or more on a single charge, including the Lucid Air, Tesla Model S, Polestar 3, and Rivian R1S/R1T. Other models that approach this range include the Mercedes-Benz EQS and the Kia EV3. These vehicles achieve longer ranges through a combination of large battery packs, efficient motor designs, and lightweight body construction. 
Examples of electric cars with 400+ mile range

• Aptera: Designed to reach 400 miles, with additional driving range from solar panels. 
• Lucid Air: Available with over 400 miles of range. 
• Polestar 3: Offers up to 438 miles of range. 
• Rivian R1S and R1T: Both pickup and SUV models can exceed 400 miles on a charge. 
• Tesla Model S: Certain configurations can achieve over 400 miles of range. 
• Mercedes-Benz EQS: Offers a range of over 400 miles. 
• Kia EV3: Advertised as having a range of around 375 miles, but its large battery is designed to get close to the 400-mile mark. 

Factors that contribute to long range

• Battery size: Vehicles with larger battery packs can store more energy, leading to a longer driving range. For example, the Polestar 3 has a large 111kWh battery. 
• Efficiency: Aerodynamic design, lightweight materials like carbon fiber, and efficient powertrains help extend the range. The Aptera is an example of a vehicle built with a focus on efficiency. 
• Battery technology: Advances in battery technology allow manufacturers to create smaller, lighter, and more energy-dense batteries. 

Is Mach-E or Tesla better?

Neither the Mustang Mach-E nor the Tesla is definitively "better," as the choice depends on your priorities. The Mustang Mach-E is often praised for its more comfortable ride, superior build quality, and traditional interior with physical controls, making it feel more like a conventional car. The Tesla is favored for its extensive Supercharger network, impressive technology integration, and often longer driving range.

How many miles can an electric Mustang go on a full charge?

The range of the Mustang Mach-E depends on which trim level and battery, and drivetrain you choose: Mustang Mach-E Select: EPA-estimated range of 300 miles. Mustang Mach-E Premium: EPA-estimated range of 320 miles. Mustang Mach-E GTEPA-estimated range of 280 miles.

Can I charge a Mustang Mach-E at a Tesla station?

Yes, you can charge a Mustang Mach-E at a Tesla station, but you will need a NACS to CCS adapter for most locations, or you can use a "Magic Dock" adapter that is built into some stations. You'll also need to use the Tesla app to start the charging session.
 
How to charge at a Tesla station

• Get the adapter: A NACS to CCS Fast Charging Adapter is required for most Tesla Superchargers. Ford provides these to Mach-E owners, or you can purchase one from a third-party seller like Lectron. 
• Check for "Magic Dock" stations: Some newer Tesla Superchargers have a built-in "Magic Dock" adapter. If you see this, you can charge without your own adapter. 
• Download the Tesla app: Create a Tesla account in the app and add your payment information. 
• Find a compatible station: Use the Tesla app to locate a compatible Supercharger. Some stations are marked "Tesla only" and are not compatible with non-Tesla EVs. Look for stations that are listed as "with Adapter". 
• Plug in and charge: Plug the adapter into your Mach-E and then connect the Tesla Supercharger cable to the adapter. The charging session should start automatically. 
• Stop charging: When you're finished, stop the charging session via the Tesla app. 

Important considerations

• Check compatibility: Not all Tesla Supercharger stations are compatible with non-Tesla EVs. Check the Tesla app or a third-party app like PlugShare to make sure a station is compatible before you arrive. 
• Adapter requirements: You will need a different adapter for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging than you do for DC fast charging. 
• Ford's adapter program: Ford offers a Fast Charging Adapter to eligible owners to access Tesla Superchargers. Check the Ford support website for details.
